Then who?, what living Republican- declared or undeclared- can vanquish Mrs. Clinton or whatever other Democrat is nominated?

A ticket with Bush/Rubio and John Kasich. Best chance for winning Florida and Ohio, both of which you have to have, and best chance of reducing the Dems Hispanic voter margin.

Even if the GOP were to win both Florida and Ohio, it wouldn't be enough.

For a victory, a broader strategy would have to be engaged.



PS, the poster I was responding to already specifically said "no" to Bush as a loser he wouldn't vote for.

Thus, you could subtract 50 from this and she still wins.
It's over.
No way ANY democrat takes Utah,Arizona,Louisiana,Missouri or West Virginia. What's that leave ANY democrat with?

Missed that. Sorry about the double post too, as I was trying to edit the first one.

I think the dem candidate will take most swing states BUT if the republican candidate selects a swing state governor,senator,congressman such as Kasich from Ohio I think the GOP has a nice chance. Give the dems Pennsylvania,Virginia,Colorado,Iowa,Wisconsin etc they STILL lose without Ohio....wait I think I am forgetting Florida....whew its gonna be tough....Democrats take Florida even without Ohio they can barely pull it off....meh whatever...

The Dems can win without Florida and Ohio. The Republicans can't without flipping Blue Wall states that haven't voted for a Republican since 1988.

W won by carrying CO, NM, IA, MO, NC and VA, in addition to OH IN and FL.
